Mesa, AZ – Residents in Mesa and the surrounding areas should prepare for a potentially stormy Saturday as the National Weather Service (NWS) Flagstaff warns of active showers and thunderstorms. The storms are expected to be concentrated in west-central and north-central Arizona, with Mesa lying well within the impact zone.
According to the NWS, while many thunderstorms on Saturday will be “fairly well-behaved,” a few stronger storms could bring small hail and heavy rain. This weather pattern closely mirrors Friday’s conditions, where storms brought significant precipitation to the region. The NWS advises residents to stay updated on weather conditions throughout the day, as the situation could change rapidly.
In addition to the storm threat, temperatures in the Mesa area are forecasted to reach the mid-90s, with some areas seeing highs near 100 degrees. This combination of heat and storms can lead to hazardous conditions, including flash flooding in some regions. Residents should take necessary precautions, including avoiding flooded areas and seeking shelter during severe weather events.
